Vince's Got A Shotgun (Challenge) - Shotgun Challenge recap for May 24, 1997

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) beat Doug Furnas and Philip LaFon. The match is Henry O. Godwinn's first match since his C4 vertebrae injury last month, and compared to Phineas' usual jovial dancing, Henry is a lot more serious and is not smiling. After the match, Henry O. Godwinn refuses to dance.

We hear from Faarooq. He says that ever since he has entered the World Wrestling Federation, he has had to constantly prove himself as both a Black man and a wrestler. He says that the Black race is tired of doing menial work, and they will no longer sit back and be pacifists as they will take their rightful place on this earth and be treated equally. He says there has never been a black WWF Champion, but that day is coming. He calls The Undertaker "the great White hope" that everyone gives praise, but history will be made at King of the Ring and he will become the first Black WWF Champion by any means necessary.

We see episode two of Sunny's Search and Soak Mission, where Jim Cornette gets soaked with with the Super Soaker CPS2000.

"Double J" Jesse James beats David Haskins.

The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) beat Reginald Walker and Carl Fergie.

Jim Ross interviews The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) in the ring. Animal says that they have beaten The Hart Foundation once, and at King of the Ring, they have them for the tag team titles and they will beat them again. However, next Monday night, they realize they will be facing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and if Austin and Shawn take the tag team titles from them that night, they'll beat Austin and Shawn up, too, because they want the titles badly. Hawk says it was not too long ago that they had Owen and Bulldog in a match and won, and that they came up with a technicality that they pinned the wrong guy. He goes on to say that they have more excuses than Eddie Murphy, and after King of the Ring, they will win.

Brian Pillman beats Tony Williams. During the match, Pillman is aggressive towards Jim Cornette for sitting in his seat on commentary.

We hear from "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. He asks Bret "The Hit Man" Hart if he knows what bat guano is, and says Bret has been spreading so much of it around the WWF since WrestleMania, and now Bret wants to make a challenge where he can beat him in ten minutes while the rest of The Hart Foundation (Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Brian Pillman) is handcuffed to all four ring posts. He says this will be mano-a-mano, and while the world has been waiting for his, nobody has waited for this longer than him. He has had it with Bret's shit, and know he's going to knock it out of him.

Ahmed Johnson beats D'Lo Brown. After the match, Crush and Savio Vega stomp Ahmed Johnson, then Rocky Maivia runs in to make the save. This is almost to no avail, but with Crush and Savio Vega forced to focus on both men, Rocky and Ahmed are able to fight back.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 12, 1995

Jim Cornette says that Yokozuna will be the King of the Ring, and Lex Luger the pawn. Luger is sick and tired of Yokozuna embarassing and humiliating America, and plans to put all of this to an end tonight.

Bob Backlund's campaigning for President continues.

Bama Bam Bigelow beats Duane Gill. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews Diesel via telephone. Diesel doesn't know if he'll be back at 100%, but says he will be there for Bam Bam.

We get our first look at Waylon Mercy. He plans to smash the

The WWF blimb will fly over tthe Shea Stadium, New York City, the U.S. OPen Golf Tournament and Fenway Park on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Barry Didinsky, The Mad Capper and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) play - and advertise - Mad Caps backstage for $25 plus $3.95 shipping and handling. Coming with it for free - the official WWE Mad Caps T-shirt.

Kama beats David Haskins. Before the match, a black funeral wreathe is left in the corner at ringside by two unemotive, pale-faced fans of The Undertaker fully clad in black. Kama isn't very appreciative of it.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Sycho Sid and Tatanka tells Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow that they will be dealing with reality when they get in the ring with them. Also, Jerry "The King" Lawler pulls out a nasty-looking fake foot, saying that this is a sample of what Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will be placing his lips on at King of the Ring.

Undertaker takes on Mabel, Shawn Michaels takes on Kama, and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly takes on The Roadie in the first three first-round matches of the King of the Ring tournament.

"The King of Harts" Owen Hart, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji encourage Yokozuna to bulk up on rice before tonight's event.

The WWF World Tour de Force takes place in Germany and California during the week.

Man Mountain Rock quickly beats Bob Cook with the Whammy Bar.

The Fabulous Moolah, Pedro Morales, The Grand Wizard and George "The Animal" Steele have been inducted into the 1994 WWF Hall of Fame Class.

Bob Backlund gets his hands on Man Mountain Rock's guitar, rants about Man Mountain Rock's music while showing how uninformed he is, and takes out the cameraman as he rolls to the ground.

Tekno Team 2000 (Travis and Troy) beats John Crystal and Mike Khoury - who wear jean shorts in their Raw debut.

Man Mountain Rock is devastated that his guitar has been destroyed by Bob Backlund. He tells Backlund he's made this personal, and that he will deal with him.

Sycho Sid and Tatanka take on The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Sione) next week on Raw.

Lex Luger fan Scott Anton carries the American flag for Lex Luger's entrance. (Scott Anton would later join World Championship Wrestling later that year under the name Scotty Riggs.)

Yokozuna beats Lex Luger by count-out to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament when Mr. Fuji confronts Scott Anton. Luger goes after Fuji, then turns around and attacks Jim Cornette, who is trying to attack him with his tennis racket. Yokozuna takes advantage of the situation and gets Luger from behind, slamming him into the ring post and hitting him with a leg drop before climbing back into the ring before the ten count.

Next week: The Undertaker! Shawn Michaels!

We see Jerry "The King" Lawler's "training" footage of himself walking barefoot in manure in his royal stable. Jerry "The King" Lawler then finds obscene amounts of joy in replaying the footage of himself making "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya kiss his royal foot on last week's Superstars.
